Later Life and Death
Always known as much for his sarcastic grouchiness as his barbed self-deprecation, Morgan's 1994 memoir, Here's Morgan! The Original Bad Boy of Broadcasting, found him satirizing many of his former co-stars while straining not to examine his professional life beyond a series of in-and-out zaps, asides, and declarative statements—almost as if the reader were listening to a vintage radio satire of Morgan's life. His final national television appearance was on the cable television series Talk Live, in early 1994. A few weeks after that broadcast, Henry Morgan died of lung cancer at age 79.

For changes wrought on form and face;

May breed with him can fright my faith.”
